sorry guys about dragon age posting i’m regressing i’m a shitty dragon age fan at my Core

but i am not sorry about being a Solas Hater (again, positive. in the way you’re supposed to hate him as a complicated dude doing a Fucked Up thing)

dude doesn’t think anyone who doesn’t fit his very specific ancient elf criteria as People and even when he claims to have a slight Change Of Heart when he starts to befriend non-elves in the inquisition dude still is going through with his plans to essentially kill most people in thedas to get the elves back to their original ancient elf selves, immortal and all powerful, ruling the world that THEY TOOK FROM THE TITANS AND DWARVES ANYWAY??????? like you realize ancient elves are the reason why dwarves were made to live underground. that they severed the dwarves from the Stone and believe they ‘liberated’ them?

people do realize city elves are left out of solas’s equation too, right? his plans only consider “true elves” part of the equation, which city elves are not due to the lives in which they were forced to live for centuries as a diaspora under human rule and oppression. city elves to solas are not pure, they’re lost causes, sacrifices who will die for the sake of real elves who will be brought back.

but sure he feels bad :(

#dragon age for ts.#lavellan being the most popular choice for inquisitor means people miss out on other perspectives. specifically cadash and adaar.#trevelyan is another human noble origin so that POV is also warped.#lavellans who don’t push back against solas and go along with him are big Pick Me energy there i said it.#girl u don’t Need Him he’s stuck in the old ways telling you all about how your centuries of tradition are fake and invalid and stupid.#he’s trying to ‘save’ the ‘savage’. teach people the ‘right’ ways with no consideration for how time shapes groups of diasporic peoples.#it’s a tragedy because that guy is never going to change. you can’t save him. he’s wrong & wants to level thedas to reshape it His Way.#you can’t fix him.
